Following the three-ring circus the press politely called the budget debate, and in effect, tried to lay the blame on the damnable Tea Party, is only the beginning of the contempt the press and the inside-the-Beltway Crowd has for the rest of us commoners. Has anyone thought about the consequences wed be facing had the House of Representatives simply agreed to President Obama and the House passing a flat budget increase with nobody standing up for making budget cuts? Are we all this stupid?

Folks, since the start of the Bush Presidency through the Pelosi Congress and the current Obama Presidency, we are staring at a $16.2 trillion dollar national debt right in the old eyeballs, and that does not include UNFUNDED MANDATES (pensions, Social Security, Medicare, etc, into the future) which are conservatively estimated at about $76 trillion (the entire global GDP is only about $65 trillion). To put that into prospective for the current debt situation (not counting the unfunded mandate portion), that boils down to about $46,000 for every man, woman, and child in the US, or about $184,000 for a family of four! When Bush became President the debt was at $5.2 trillion and even before the end of the Obama Presidency we were pegged at $14.2 trillion, but have bumped that up to $16.2 trillion which, as the President called it, an historic deal with the signing of the latest budget deficit deal. On a spending spree of $4 billion a day is not what anyone would call being responsible.

Just to get an even better picture of how far the Washington politicians are from mainstream American out here in fly-over land, you should all recall those infamous words of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi as she slithered out from under the podium ending her term as House Speaker

Deficit reduction has been a high priority for us. It is our mantra, pay-as-you-go.”

When Pelosi took control of Congress on January 4, 2007, the national debt stood at $8,670 trillion dollars. The last day of the 111th Congress on December 22, 2010 the national debt was $13,858 trillion a roughly $5.2 trillion increase in just four years the yearly federal deficit roughly quadrupled during the Pelosi era from $342 billion in fiscal year 2007 to an estimated $1.6 trillion at the end of fiscal year 2010. Oh yesand dont forget her own personal earmark of $30 million to save some swamp rat at the old Candlestick Park.

Washington has the arrogance to assign some of the same bimbos that got us into this mess to a gang of twelve super deficit committee to develop a plan to put us back on a path to solvency. Perhaps the tone of my words lack respect to those we have entrusted the future of our country, but anyone who has ever been in the military, or for that matter, anyone who has been around the block once or twice, knows respect is not given, it is EARNED. Those in inside the Beltway, and those in the press, must believe the average American is just plain stupid.

My father once told me, that to simply criticize is a disservice if you cant come with a solution. Another way to put that is a quote by Anthony J. D’Angelo, “If you have time to whine and complain about something then you have the time to do something about it.” So where do we go from here?

Emulate how the private sector deals with budget cuts

Listening to a recent interview with a state governor who has decided to run for the presidency, I was struck by how, with the help of his government staff, was able to bring their states finances back from the abyss by following how business works. Maybe because it makes such good sense, and maybe because Washington bureaucrats in general, have lost sight of what life was like back in the free enterprise capitalistic marketplace, or maybe because they have never done anything accept academia and government employment, politicians cant seem to figure it out. Or maybe deep down inside they believe that if they make the task of balancing the budget and cutting spending look difficult, most Americans will buy into their charade that being a Politician really is a difficult job and justifies the six-figure income they get.

What I am going to lay out as a possible solution makes sense to me and should make sense to most everyone else. It includes some relatively simple steps.

A successful business (company, corporation, LLC) is traditionally run with a chief executive, and a tiered level of department heads, supervisors and workers who are striving to achieve success for the company. All must ultimately be accountable to the stockholders (yes folks, stockholders, are the owners of companies that are other than mom-pop or entrepreneurial enterprises). If the company fails to be accountable, the company collapses and you the stockholder, lose your retirement investment or your 401K program is probably flushed down the toilet.

The first approach to government accountability is to demand accountability from the President, the Legislature and each department head that oversees the operation of the thousands of governmental agencies. We the people are in essence THE STOCKHOLDERS.So lets approach government budget reductions as would a normal business enterprise struggling in a world of economic downturn, lower (tax) revenue due to high unemployment, and as if we are facing economic collapse. While the example I am going to use to show how successful the federal government could be in cutting costs without cutting services, I will start with giving you the comparison of compensation at all four levels of employment, private sector, state government employment, local government employment, and federal employment, so you will be able to extrapolate your own assumption for your state and local government budget problems (Salaries and benefitsfor identical jobsare 30 percent to 40 percent higher in the federal government than in the private sector). With that scenario in place:

We will assume that the workers are equivalent between private sector and federal workers, and that GS11 and GS15 federal employees would be the equivalent of the supervisory personnel of most private sector companies. These are not low-paying jobs that should not come without the responsibility of having to account for operational efficiencies and sound business management.

That being said, both the worker and supervisors have a fiduciary responsibility to the shareholders of the company and in the case of the federal worker, to the taxpayers of the country. They are in the best position to know how each of their jobs effect the efficiency of the department under which they work, and together are the ones to know how to improve what is need to insure a continuum of production even under the strain of a 5% budget cut.

For the money that we, the taxpayers are paying them, they should be the ones determining how to best apply a simple 5% budget cut. With 5% reduction (probably covered by listening to internal government workers and their supervisors eliminating waste, fraud, duplication, and abuse), all the politicians could then take credit for doing something right.

Wednesday I will go into how all this affects Americans in general, veterans and the Military budget specifically, and what we are in store for by letting bureaucrats take an axe to fixing the budget mess they created.

It's not just Google/YouTube defunding altenative chanels (mine was shut), but Facebook is also removing content, shutting pages, profiles and groups and removing funds from #altnews that way as well. I was recently kicked off FB and had a page "unpublished" with no reason given. If you don't know already all Facebooks Private Messages and Secret Groups are still analysed and checked for words related to drugs, sex, war etc against their own TOS. Personally IU know there are undercover Irish police moving from group to group cloning peoples accounts and getting people booted. Worse than that I know people in court at the moment for the content they had on their secret private group. Use Telegrams secret chat mode to chat on, or if you prefer if you need to or buy a dumb phone with nothing for the NSA to hack into if you are that paranoid.

So if your not supporting this site already which brings you news from the Left to the Right (really the same war mongering bollox) then I could do with some. Even if it's just £5 or tick the monthly subscription box it will be much appreciated. Read on to find out why/

Why?

Any support to keep this site would be appreciated. You could set up a monthly subscription for £2 like some people do or you could pay a one off donation as a gift.I am not asking you to pay me for other people's articles, this is a clearing house as well as place to put my own views out into the world. I am asking for help to write more articles like my recent false flag gas attack to get WWIII started in Syria, and Trump away from Putin. Hopefully a few missiles won't mean a WikiLeaks release of that infamous video Trump apparently made in a Russian bedroom with Prostitutes. Also please note that this article was written just an hour after the papers came out, and I always come back and update them.

If you want to read JUST my own articles then use the top menu I have written hundreds of articles for this site and I host numerous amounts of material that has seen me the victim of hacks, DOS plus I have been kicked off multiple hosting companies, free blogging sites, and I have even had threats to cease and desist from the US armed forces. Therefore I have to pay for my own server which is NOT cheap. The more people who read these article on this site the more it costs me so some support would be much appreciated.

I have backups of removed reports shown, then taken down after pressure, that show collusion between nations and the media. I have the full redacted 28/29 pages from the 9.11 commission on the site which seems to have been forgotten about as we help Saudi Arabia bomb Yemeni kids hiding in the rubble with white phosphorus, an illegal weaapon. One that the Israeli's even used when they bombed the UN compound in Gaza during Operation Cast Lead. We complain about Syrian troops (US Controlled ISIS) using chemical weapons to kill "beautiful babies". I suppose all those babies we kill in Iraq, Yemen, Somalia and Syria are just not beautiful enough for Trumps beautiful baby ratio. Plus we kill about 100 times as many as ISIS or the Syrian army have managed by a factor of about 1000 to 1.

I also have a copy of the the original Liberal Democrats Freedom Bill which was quickly and quietly removed from their site once they enacted and replaced with some watered down rubbish instead once they got into power. No change to police tactics, protesting or our unfair extradition treaty with the USA but we did get a stop to being clamped on private land instead of the mny great ideas in the original.

So ANY support to keep this site running would be much appreciated! I don't have much money after leaving my job and it is a choice between shutting the server or selling the domain or paying a lot of money just so I can show this material. Material like the FSB Bombings that put Putin in power or the Google no 1 spot when you search for protecting yourself from UK Police with "how to give a no comment interview". If you see any adverts that interest you then please visit them as it helps me without you even needing to give me any money. A few clicks per visit is all it takes to help keep the servers running and #altnews alive!

However if you don't want to use the very obvious and cost free ways (to you) to help the site and keep me writing for it then please consider making a small donation. Especially if you have a few quid sitting in your PayPal account doing nothing useful. Why not do a monthly subscription for less money instead. Will you really notice £5 a month?
